[ Upstream commit 22ec19f3aee327806c37c9fa1188741574bc6445 ]
Drivers that support bridge offload need to be notified about changes to
the bridge's VLAN protocol so that they could react accordingly and
potentially veto the change.
Add a new switchdev attribute to communicate the change to drivers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
